Narcooo/inkos

AI Agent · tested 2026-07-23 · by the Hlido desk, not the vendor

In short: A fast-moving, heavily-starred story-creation agent — real momentum and releases, but missing install docs and carrying a heavy issue backlog under an AGPL license.

8 PASS · 2 FAIL of 10 public-surface claims

Quick answer

Narcooo/inkos scores 80/100 (STEADY) on Hlido’s independent, hands-on test (reviewed 2026-07-23). STEADY (80). Pricing: Open source (free entry point documented).

The momentum here is genuine: 8k stars, a v1.7.0 release and a push on the very day the repository was measured. It is AGPL-3.0, TypeScript, with CI present, and its creative scope is broad — novels, scripts, translation, interactive games and IP content. Two honest cautions surface from the repository. The README lacks clear install/usage markers, which is a real onboarding gap for a project this popular, and 205 open issues is a large backlog to weigh against the fast release cadence. AGPL-3.0 is the licensing consideration for any commercial embedding. Repo-surface read; output quality was not tested hands-on.

Why STEADY

STEADY (80). Strong traction, active maintenance, CI and a real release cadence clear STEADY. VITAL is withheld because onboarding docs are missing, the open-issue backlog is heavy, and no agent-consumable interface or hands-on quality signal is present.
